Paramashivan,
To quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method...
Irrespective of what one is investigating, "gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence" is the crux of a scientific process. How then does the metaphysics of any religion fall into Science? Maybe one can say that the ancients had a "scientific spirit", but they didn't do "science" for sure. Further more, with a demand for objectivity, and of course Occam's Razor, we have to throw all philosophy out of the window (of Science I mean :D). Of course, this doesn't mean that all those are not "useful" (in some measure of utility) to a human life.Quote:
Scientific method refers to a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge. To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on gathering observable, empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning
Love and Light.
